Last ever ZEDfest (UK) 13th August 2023

[2k35is]

Don't think there is one, just turn up but remember it finishes at 4.00

 

[Barty]

Just seen this! I'll definitely be coming - told a mate about it too, so there'll be two in convoy from Northampton area.

Might be cheeky to ask, but could someone bring along their Carly OBD tool? Want to add a few bits to my E85 but don't fancy spending the money on a new Carly + subscription. Happy to cover your beers for the day (if you're a light drinker! :wink: :lol: )

Phill, if you still need programming feel free to come by the green coupe on Dutch plates, or look for the guy dressed like a drowned lumberjack

Looks like a great turn out

Most excellent

 

[Gwest44]

Probably to much Z3 content for this forum but I did get one of the Batmobile

 

[99ron]

One from the other car park.

Great turn out today despite the changeable weather… a few pics from me. Thanks Neil and family for putting on another excellent event. Good luck with the planning situation

Had a really great day at Zedfest, my first one and hope there will be more.

Thanks to the organisers it was a great event and definitely worth going to if you haven’t before.

I met some absolutely fantastic new people and had some great convos. Thanks for all the nice comments on the car I completely lost track of time and didn’t manage to take many pics.

I was one of the first in and I was last out! I’m sorry to say that trying to remember everyone’s name is difficult but if you want to follow me on insta my handle is imola_z4m thanks for a great day everyone!

Really nice to see Simon and Jon and their epic Ms!

Special thanks to Wasif, really great to finally meet in person! He was super kind to install M track mode on the Z for me and run a Vanos test which I’m happy to say passed with German colours

The Imola ///M is looking super sweet there, Tom

 

[paddy wright]

Looks a fantastic day- gutted I couldn’t get this year! Hope there will be a change on the councils part!

Thanks for the mention Tom and a pleasure to do some coding on your stunning IR Z4M Roadster

So nice to finally met a few forum members in person and a joy to sort out some diagnostic niggles and activate some hidden features in the Z4Ms.

Would be a shame for today to be the last zedfest at Shepshed, fingers crossed it continues

 

[Jon2215]

Fantastic day,great to catch up with Tom,Simon,Mr Tidy and others.Hats off to Neil for organising another brilliant Zedfest with fingers crossed this isn’t the last at this beautiful location.

 

[Barty]

The continental contingent made it home a little after 00:00, safe and sound. It’s been such a pleasure to meet a lot of lovely people and put some faces (and often actual names) to the forum names we see on here. Big thanks to Neil for organising an absolutely brilliant event. Great cars, good atmosphere, beautiful location.

Petition signed, and a donation will be made. Let’s go for Zedfest 2024! And maybe… organise a continental counterpart?

 

[jenniferlouise]

@barty well said sir! We are up for a Continental meet!!

 

[Lynchy]

Thank you Neil and to all of those that took part in putting this event on, it was a brilliant day

Hi All, could you please sign the petition to save our watermill from closing to the public, we are appealing the decision so this will help our case. If we can get it overturned the ZEDfest 2024 will be back on. here is the link to the petition

Hi All, ZEDfest is back for another year and will be held on the 13th August 2023.

PLEASE NO BBQ

We do have card payment facilities for drinks and food. Please bring your £5 note for entrance

Car can arrive from 10am no earlier as we will be still setting up.

Local police will be attending our watermill open day (ZEDfest) and will more than likely be doing speed gun checks on our road!!!

SupaKool (mobile aircon re-gas service) will be on site, please let me know if you would like it doing. Just to say i had my Z4 system emptied as i’m doing an engine swap, car should hold approx 700g, however i have not had it done whilst owning the car (10 yrs) and it only had 400g left in it. They said most cars lose 10% per year. So well worth having it done.

We will be filling up paddock 1 first then paddock 2, followed by Menage, yard, paddock 4, 5 & 6 the last paddock 3. This is all on first come basis, please dont ask to be moved until everyone is in. Finally please respect my home and the fields as the grass is feed for our horses you are driving all over!!!

The plan is just turn up on the day, entrance will be £5 per car NOT per person (cash only).

The Bull & Bush local pud will be managing the drinks, food and a small bar on the day, Watermill & Blacksmiths will be in operation.

ZEDfest 2023 is 13th August. 10.00am - 4.30pm


Look forward to seeing you all.

Neil.

Would also be up for an NL/EU Zedfest, either way we need a Zedfest 2024
